JACKSONVILLE, Florida\u00a0 \u2014 The Florida man charged with fatally shooting a 17-year-old boy after an argument over loud music testified Tuesday that he thought he saw the barrel of a gun from a neighboring vehicle pointed at him and that he feared for his life before firing his weapon.<\/p>\n
Dunn<\/b> is charged with first-degree murder. He has pleaded not guilty and says he acted in self-defense when he fatally shot 17-year-old Jordan Davis<\/b> outside a Jacksonville convenience store in November 2012.<\/p>\n
The trial comes less than a year after a former Florida neighborhood watchman, George Zimmerman<\/b>, was acquitted in the killing of an unarmed black teenager, Trayvon Martin<\/b>.<\/p>\n
Both cases have stoked racial tensions. Dunn <\/b>is white and Davis<\/b> was black. No weapons were found in the SUV where Davis<\/b> was riding with two other teenagers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
